An anemone also
This is a whelk.
When it dies its shell lies
On the sea bed until......
A growing hermit crab
Takes up residence.
In his new home
The hermit does not
Feel the arrival of a ragworm,
Which crawls into the same shell.
Later, an anemone also
Settles on his shell.
So the ragworm, anemone and
The hermit, all live together
In an old whelk shell.
When the hermit feeds,
The ragworm takes his share
And the anemone clears up
What is left on the floor.
If attacked, the great claw
Provides an armour-plated door.

Teatime at Everybody
The cake
which my mama burned
is what is more delicious
than the cake of the store
of the throat in the world.
Therefore, daily teatime enjoys
itself very much and it is!
